'If we included some of the original X-Men like Storm and Jean and Scott and others in Apocalypse, yeah, we would have to recast them because Apocalypse takes place a good 20 years before X1, which now insanely was 10 to 15 years ago,' Kinberg told Yahoo Movies.

As far as the difficulty finding appropriate younger actors to play the roles, he added: 'Halle, Famke, and Jimmy and others have done such wonderful jobs of bringing those characters to life. It would be a tall task.'

'But I also would have said before First Class there would have been no way we find actors who could stand alongside Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart, but I think we managed to with Michael [Fassbender] and James [McAvoy], finding their own interpretations of the characters, not doing an impersonation.'

Set to be released in 2016, X-Men Apocalypse will still feature original star Hugh Jackman, 45, along with Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy and Jennifer Lawrence.
